1. Bhisma Falls
So wait... Arjuna was actually born a girl?? I am so confused...

2. Drona in Command
Romesh C. Dutt
3. Abhimanyu and Jayadratha
I can only imagine the pain of losing a child. I am not surprised that Arjuna wants revenge.

4. Ghatotkacha
This story and the last are both about two of the Pandavas losing their children. I feel like this, and possibly the last story, would be good to use for my storytellings.

5. Death of Drona
The trickery used here and the image of the kuru's soul is pretty cool. I feel like this could also be a good story to use for my storytelling.
Sister Nivedita
6. Bhima and Duhshasana
As gross as it is that he drank the guy's blood, I am impressed that he kept his vow and it makes me happy that he avenged the wrong done to Draupadi.

7. Arjuna and Karna
I would really like to use this story as another one of my storytelling stories.

8. Duryodhana in the Lake

9. The Raid
This would be an excellent story to use since it is not what one would expect to happen at all! The gods seemed to always help the Pandavas but then shiva just let the guy in!
Donald A. Mackenzie & Romesh Dutt
10. Ashwatthaman's Jewel
So I could also use Ashwatthaman as one of my celestial beings. I want to use the story of his amulet somehow.

11. Mourning
As sad and painful as this story would be, I can completely see a retelling of this story to be super useful in my portfolio.

12. The Pandavas and Bhishma
The idea of being able to chose the moment of ones death is a SUPER cool idea! I feel like it could be easy to misuse, but it could also create an excellent was to forward a plot.

14. King Yudhishthira's Horse
This ritual is still fascinating to me.

15. Horse Sacrifice
Its about damn time.

16. The Mongoose
I like the idea of switching narrators and having the actual narrator be an animal!
Annie Besant
17. The Forest and its Ghosts
This would be a really cool story as well.

18. Death of Krishna
This reads like a Shakespearian tragedy where EVERYONE dies at the end...

19. The Pandavas Depart
Donald A. Mackenzie
20. The Afterlife
I LOVE the idea of him going through a test and, after succeeding, becoming a celestial. I also really like how it is explained how each brother is basically paired with another god.
